Hi Moodster, Think overall its reduced the speed that people are driving. Yes there are confusions, don't know of anybody getting a ticket yet. When we learnt to drive we were taught to drive to the conditions of the road, where required perhaps passing a school at turning out time, cars parked every where the conditions for this might be 15 mph, pass the same school at nine at night the potential hazard has gone so a higher speed is perfectly acceptable. Might be just me, but perhaps you would need to actually drive to appreciate driving to the conditions of the road. Germany in built up areas the speed is 30 km/hr, their speed limits the speed limit continuously changes on open roads. However they also have more accidents per km driven than the UK. As the UK has some of the safest roads in Europe, and Europe has some of the safest roads in the world, it may have been better for the Senned to actually spend time tackling a real problem, cost of living etc. As opposed to a policy that gets drivers continuously checking their speed and not looking where they are actually going. I feel having drivers, drive to the Conditions of the road, reading the road, observing signage and street furniture will make the roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists than a blanket 20mph. Hope this didn't read as to much of a rant.

Hi Roly... I think your reply is no more of a rant than my video! I agree with most of your comments. Here in Scotland the roads themselves are becoming the problem: poorly maintained and potholed. The main roads are OK, but once we venture onto side roads or 'B' roads it can be like driving across plowed fields. One of the points I was making in the video is how the limits don't seem to follow any sensible sequence, with 40mph leading into 20mph then back to 30mph, 20mph and 40mph... it's all over the place. And visually there doesn't seem to be any reasoning. But the painted 30mph on the road is my favourite. It looks like somebody took the roadside markings away and forgot about the road marking.
